Failed cash grab by Guillermo del Toro

Rating: 6/10 (23 July 2013)

I tried hard to like it, I hate being too critical of it, but even though it was an okay movie, its also easy to forget the next day. Unlike movies like "Fast and Furious 6", "Pacific Rim" gives nothing to talk about, no big action sequence or anything we haven't seen before. The movie is just scenes from other movies put together starting with the definition of Kaijus, kind of like the opening to "Pulp Fiction".
Kaijus: Colossal alien beasts who rise from an interdimensional portal on the Pacific floor to devastate human cities.
Thats all you need to know, there's not much to it apart from that, the movie is what you would expect. Transformers + Godzilla = Power Rangers... or in this case, Pacific Rim.
I liked the cast, too bad they've wasted their efforts on making such a poor action film. Well, its actually not bad, but there's not much to it, it gave me the same feeling I got when watching Power Rangers as a little kid. I would watch it, then go run and play and forget I even saw it.
Its also safe to say its definitely the loudest movie of the year, its just an average action movie that feels like a failed cash grab by Guillermo del Toro. It does have a few good moments though, like one unexpected death scene I don't want to spoil for anyone who hasn't seen it, but apart from that its just a wannabe Michael Bay movie.
I'd recommend it to anyone who liked "Top Gun", "Independence Day", "Pearl Harbor", "Transformers", or "Armageddon".
